Unhappy
How could he just sit back and watch his only son fool around with a woman who is a member of the family he detested the most? There was no way he would let his son marry Evelyn Evans. But he also knew how stubborn his son was and would never leave Evie if he asked him to. So to make things easier and less complicated, he approached Father Evans and told him to ask his daughter to let go of his son.
But who would've thought that his son wouldn't let that woman out of his mind. No matter how much father Collins tried, Edward refused to be with any other woman no matter how beautiful she was. Fathers Collins kept on trying but all his efforts went down the drain because of his sons indifferent and pretentious cold behaviour towards other women.
